Thank you!!!

Get an initial overview by reading the article in Groves on clarinet history. The books by Birsak (The Clarinet) and Brymer (The Clarinet) are also useful. Both are available from Gary Van Cott (a sponsor)
I would also check into:
The Clarinet - Geoffrey Rendall
Musical Wind Instruments - Adam Carse
The Clarinet - Oskar Kroll
I'm not sure if these texts are still in print, but they still should be availabe in the bigger local libraries. It would be a better idea to take a journey to a nearby university and do some research in their music library, as those texts would probably be on the shelf.

why hi there effer/eefer....go back and read my response on your e flat posting. The same books apply. Had you viewed the Van Cott web site, you'd have read the synopsis for each book ........several clearly state the D clarinet. enjoy reading

I again call your attention to Curt Sachs "The History of Musical Instruments" pg 411 +, in particular pg 414 " Octave clarrinets in C, Bb or A and FOURTH cls in F, Eb and D have been made since about 1800"!!! Also look in Groves for mention of the D, which may have developed from the C by use of the U J "rechange" practice. Likely Al Rice and others in the "Early Clarinet:" group may have more precise help. Luck, Don

Should have looked here too. Jack Brymer on pg 31 of the PB, speaks of the "earliest concertos" for cl, in D, by Molter, 1747 !!!! Interesting! Don

Probably the best run-down is given in "The Clarinet" by F G Rendall [788.6 Ren in libraries] in his chapter VII on History to 1800, pg 70 in my copy {3rd edition?] is very pertinent re: the 2 key clarinet in D, etc. The references cited might be pursued if one wished to write a dissertation on this subject. Research! Don
